The cleaner is a double-insulated product. A double-
insulated electrical appliance is one which has been
designed in such a way that it does not require a safety
connection to ground. The basic requirement for
double-insulation is that no single failure can result
in dangerous voltage becoming exposed so that it
might cause an electric shock and that this is achieved
without relying on an earthed (grounded) metal casing.
This is achieved by having two (2) layers of insulating
material surrounding live parts or by using reinforced
insulation. Therefore, devices having double-insulated
construction, such as this cleaner, do not utilize a
grounded (three-prong) cord/plug.

Whenthecontrolboxispoweredonwiththeoating
cable attached, the operating time for the current
selected cycle is displayed.
The robotic cleaner includes a safety feature that
automatically stops the cleaner if it is powered on but
not submerged in water. For pools equipped with a
beach area, this safety feature is programmed to drive
the cleaner in reverse and back into the pool when the
impeller is out of the water.
4.1 Submerging the Cleaner
1. Submerge the cleaner in the pool and remove
any air trapped inside by keeping the unit
vertical (Figure 15).
